Details

Set sail from Naples for an immersive eight-hour journey to Capri’s dramatic coastlines with Bologna Tour’s private boat experience. Located in the heart of Italy’s Campania region, Naples is the gateway to the shimmering waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the breathtaking island of Capri. This trip offers a rare opportunity to navigate the island’s rugged cliffs and hidden coves aboard a spacious, comfortable vessel operated by an expert captain.

Capri’s coastline is famous for its striking sea caves, including the renowned Blue Grotto, where sunlight filters through underwater cavities to illuminate crystal-clear waters with an eerie blue glow. Along the way, you’ll encounter the Faraglioni stacks — towering limestone pillars emerging sharply from the sea — an iconic Capri landmark formed through millennia of erosion and marine sculpting. The boat moves gracefully between quiet bays perfect for swimming, giving a refreshing break amid azure waves.

The captain enhances the adventure with captivating local stories, folklore, and historical insights, bringing the landscape’s cultural heritage to life. Passengers enjoy a curated taste of Caprese cuisine and sparkling drinks aboard — a subtle nod to the island’s slow-paced elegance and Mediterranean charm.
